      @MattSpeller We just found out we're a bottom

      So, we're the catcher, huh?

      Makes sense

        One day, I drove out to west Texas and ended up in New Mexico. Won't ever do that again. To me, Texas Is Home!

        I avoid New Mexico as much as I can.

        Are we doing maps now? I've got one...

        Is this a canadian joke or something?

            Just thought about a new project, a DIY kitchen radio. Our beloved 25 years old Siemens radio died a few days ago. It's still working, but some buttons are broken. We already tried 4 or 5 different radios, but all of them aren't good for one reason or another.

            So, what makes a good kitchen radio in 2017?

            • VHF / UKW (ultra-short range, standard in Europe / Germany) radio
            • Play radio streams
            • Easy to use timer / alarm
            • Would like to stream from Android / iPhone to the radio (we likes to listen to music and audio books when we're preparing the meal for example).
            • Display w/Clock
            • Low power consumption

            Additional ideas?

            rPI, SDR, tube amp, home made speaker box

            SDR would be an option, I thought more about the https://www.rockbox.org/wiki/pub/Main/DataSheets/application_note_tea5767-8.pdf

            That's a full featured, low power radio IC. Roughly $1 at aliexpress 🙂

              I think you mean "a full featured, low power radio IC. Roughly $1 at aliexpress for something that's labelled the same" lol

                Just another reason for Texas to secede, but that's another topic entirely.

                  What I'm talking about is a single chip radio, including all the low level stuff.

                      NerdyDad should know this. The map of the DFW metroplex is worse.

                        Yeah, just got it 😛

                        Ali is ok, at least for electronic components etc - You just need to know exactly what you want to buy

                            Are you including Denton & Hillsoboro in that map?

                              considering the cost of mail order brides that's a pretty good deal

                                      Doesn't matter, it is still full formed without those. Some news channels remove 183 so it doesnt look like one.
